NEW YORK, (JTA) - Hie Onion of American Hebrew Congregations asked President Nixon on April 4 to get a public apology from Attorney General William Saxbe, or his resignation, for his comment that "Jewish intellectuals" during the McCarthy era were "very enamored of the Communist Party." Saxbe made that comment in Washington April 3 in announcing he had ordered a new study of the justice Department's role in dealing with subsersive activities. The request to Nixon was made in a telegram from the president of the Reform organization, Rabbi Alexander Schindler, who declared "we are outraged by the incredible statement attributed to Attorney General Saxbe regarding' Jewish in¬ tellectuals. Such reckless
generalizations' feed prejudice and division." Rabbi Schindler added "I urge you to use your in¬ fluence to see that this in¬ sulting statement be repudiated^ Mr. Saxbe should either publicly retract this gratuitous and harmful • comment or he should be asked to resign his office." (In Washington a White House spokesman told .the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he was not aware of Rabbi Schindler's telegram. At the Justice Department the JTA was told that "the whole thing is being given top priority by the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General and the public relations division which is trying its darndest to put the whole thing into context," The spokesman added that > a formal statement is ex¬
pected to be issued soon. He noted that Saxbe's remark "just came out. It was not premeditated."( Saxbe said he had ordered- an in¬ vestigation of the /con- troversial Attorney General's list of subversive organizations and related internal security . laws to determine whether such a list should be maintained
and whether the present list was "realistic." He said such a review was necessary because a "new breed" of terrorist groups had replaced the McCarthy-era l "Communist-based" or¬ ganizations as a potential threat to United States security, He said that the "World-wide trends are
